| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Strychnine hydrochloride has been used as a glycine receptor antagonist in the retina for biophysiological functions. It has also been used to block glutamatergic, GABAergic and glycinergic receptors and gap junctions. | [Uses]
Strychnine Hydrochloride acts as an antagonist for cholinesterases and beta amyloid aggregation. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A hydrochloride obtained by combining strychnine with one molar equivalent of hydrogen chloride. | [Biological Activity]
Competitive glycine receptor antagonist; convulsant. Also nicotinic receptor antagonist; displays competitive antagonism at α 7 receptors and non-competitive antagonism at α 4 β 2 receptors. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Strychnine is a potent convulsant, which is extracted from Strychnos nux vomica seeds. At high doses, the compound causes convulsions and ultimately death due to respiratory paralysis. Strychnine acts as a respiratory, circulatory and digestive stimulant. |
